Last night i took 13 bottles of heinekins.
I had a great night even better morning!
Just a little bit hangover now..

Let me add another point, there are days that I feel weak with low energy, I go and have a coke to increase my energy levels and it works. If I went for a beer, I would be tipsy at work. Trying to put the two on the same level of harmfulness is just silly. Overindulgence in anything is bad, clean water is the most healthy beverage in the world. Yet, if you drink too much of it, you will die if not stopped. Shall we then start comparing water to alcohol in terms of harmfulness to the human body?

It's an amazing coincidence that I see this thread 2 days after I had a discussion with a barman about the same topic.
He assured me that beer contained way more sugar than soft-drinks which I did not believe until I carried out research on the internet just yesterday.
Well, results are, beer does indeed contain more sugar than soft-drinks.

I cant do without beer expecially when the promo is ongoing

Shine shine bobo!

FACT:One sickness or ill must kill you some day...so be happy and take your drinks.

It's misleading to draw a direct relationship between sugar content of beverages and their propensities to cause harm. Sugar is not the problem....if sugar was to be the cause of diabetes or anything then such diseases as diabetes would have been more of a disease of the young than the old. Beer causes harm through several alcohol-mediated pathways such as producing free radicals that ultimately results in inflammation(swelling) and necrosis(death) of liver cells, and causes ateries to thicken which increases the risk of hypertension and strokes. So it doesn't follow that the higher the sugar content, the more harmful it becomes.

Excerise is the key to a healthy life.

Even when am sick na to go collect one bottle of chill drink and the sickness will run away.


but you need to moderate everything in life.

You are just out condemn Alcohol ..My dear both are good to the system if taken moderately..Soft drinks re packed with fructose,sucrose when in excess directly affects the kidney..while Alcohol when taken in excess over taxes the liver

The word here is moderation..Alcohol is packed full of calories so its energy giving qualities re good

What they mean is: "low sugar content added outside of the main ingredients of malted drinks". If you sue for deceptive advertising, you will lose.

Noted!

hardbody: Point of correction @ Y'll, neither beer nor softdrinks cause diabetes. Diabetes is hereditary, if your folks never had it, chances are you would not.

Bank to the question, both beer and softdrinks contain sugar, at what level i am not able to confirm, however, faced with dangers arising from both, i will rather live with beer because it makes teh heart of mortal man merry

Abeg, help me educate them. Don't know why people believe that sugar is not the cause of diabetes.

SOFT DRINK IS BAD FOR U IN THE SHORT RUN
BEER IS BAD FOR U IN THE LONG RUN + BEER CORRUPTS YOUR SOUL
SO U CAN DRINK SOFT DRINK, GET SICK, DIE AND GO TO HEAVEN
WITH BEER U WILL GET SICK, DIE AND MOST LIKELY GO TO HELL

SO U DONT DO 2-0,(DIE MISERABLY AND STILL GET CHUCKED INTO HELL) I SAY SOFT DRINK IS THE BETTER OF 2 EVILS

Thanks for the eye-opener, I even confirmed that 'schweppes' and 'guinness stouts' contain more sugar than any other softdrinks and beer made in Nigeria because of their quinine and malt contents respectively!

Beer is relatively better. Although stout is better that it. Stout is nutritious the only downside is its alcoholic content.

Beer or Softdrink... something must kill a man!

Average soft drink (33 cl)contains about 500 calories where as average beer in Nigeria (75cl) contains 150 calories. The soft drink volume is half that of the beer ,thus consuming thesame volume of beer and soft drink delivers 150 calories and 1000 calories respectively.
When the calory intake is consistently higher more than usage , it might result in Diabetes for evrybody but most especially those who are genetically disposed to and those with problems of the pancreas . Infact it can worsen the situation for the existing disease.
To me it is safer to take a beer than soft drink considering hat in most cases a bottle or two would've distended the stomach and ordinarily one will not take beyond this quantities and a total of 300 calories is delivered to the system. In contrast to soft drink where 6 times the amount will be delivered in thesame volume of 1.5litres.
Now beer seem to be more viscous and tend to trap the gas more than soft drinks which is lighter, thus the feeling of fullness is experienced earlier than soft drinks thus a moderate individual could easily lilmit his/her intake as compared to soft drinks.
However, beer when taken abnormally, ie beyond the point of feeling the distension in the stomach gets one tipsy althe way to being drunk, reducing ability to judge correctly, which is a big socila problem.
The sugar rush is another untoward effect of high consumption of soft drink whre one feel initially good as much sugar is sent into the system initialy leady to hyper activity ,but there results in between 2-3 hours a parabolic fall in the leading to a crash ( in healthy non diabetic individuals though). The dANDEGERS OF THE TWO IS MORE AGGRAVATED IN DIABETES THOUGH WHEN OTHER NUTRITIONAL considerations are not taken into consideration. This is basically being the gross calorific intake.
Moderation is the key word here however, to me, beer is better than soft drinks considering health implications at low volumes of intake.

Take sprite whenever u lack energy , Take dogoyanro to ginger ur swagger and also to wash out all excess sugar and yamayama from ur systenm.

Both of them are harmful...

Soft drinks -- diabetes

Beer ---- Liver wahala

Both are harmful.
Moderation is the key word...

Stop spewing rubbish. Who taught u biology?

He is right and he is not saying rubbish. If the pancreas stops producing insulin that's when u r diabetic. Sugar is not the cause of neither type 1 or type 2 diabetes.

Good luck!

I take not less than five bottles of soft drinks (mostly Coke) in a day. And I haven't noticed any side effects yet.

There's a scientific proof that beer is medicinal while soft drinks are poison.
